Chapter 135 Matchup
The word "friend" startled Darkness. She quickly took out the black crystal she possessed as a follower of the Church of Eris, knelt down on one knee, and excitedly began to make a vow.
"Lord Eris, is this your guidance, leading me to encounter a genuine friendship in a place like a beauty pageant?"
"Wait, are you a member of the Cult of Eris?"
"Yes, I am a Knight of the Cross serving Lord Eris. What is it?"
Aqua crossed her arms, her face scrunched up, and asked, "Have you ever considered converting to another god, like joining the Axis Cult and worshipping the water goddess or something?"
Hearing this, Darkness was somewhat bewildered, but still shook her head: "How could that be? The Axis Cult, I've heard that only people with mental problems join that cult, and I'm perfectly fine, how could I possibly join that cult of mentally unstable people?"
"Um?!"
Aqua's eyes widened, and her fists clenched.
"Moreover, my family has been followers of Eris for generations. Even if the Axis religion is a relatively normal sect, I cannot change my faith and serve any other god besides Lord Eris."
Darkness's faith in the goddess Eris is unwavering, a belief passed down through generations of her family.
"Would you mind marrying a follower of the Axis religion?"
Aqua suppressed the urge to punch someone and asked again.
Would you marry someone with mental problems?
If it were a normal person, they would probably ask that question, but is Darkness a normal person?
No, she isn't; she's a masochist.
Therefore, she seriously considered her future marriage partner. If he was a follower of a sect known for its mental instability, how much trouble would he bring her?
Perhaps that person will drink and beat him, or perhaps he wants his beautiful wife, who is good for her, to go out and earn money to support the family, while supporting a good-for-nothing like him...
"I would be very happy... cough cough, Lord Eris said that we should help those in need, so I wouldn't mind marrying someone who needs me as their life partner."
After thinking for a moment, Darkness added, "No matter how bad that person is, and no matter what their beliefs are."
"Huh?!"
Aqua was somewhat surprised; she hadn't expected Darkness's answer to sound like that of a virtuous knight-errant.
At the same time, Aqua felt relieved: "In that case, there's no need for my disciple to withdraw from the Axis Cult."
"Huh, is that child a follower of the Axis cult?!"
Upon hearing Aqua's words, this time it was Dakness's turn to widen her eyes.
"What, you don't want to be friends with my disciple just because he's a follower of the Axis cult, do you?"
Aqua looked at Darkness with a scrutinizing gaze. If Darkness was the kind of hypocrite who said one thing but meant another, then she, the goddess master, would not be able to pass the test.
"No way! How could I possibly not want to be friends with him?!"
Darkness quickly denied it, saying that it was Lady Eris who had given her the guidance.
As expected of Lord Eris, she has such a broad mind; she can even guide a follower of the Axis religion to become my friend...
Darkness was sincerely grateful to the goddess she served, because the goddess had guided her new friend entirely according to her own XP.
Wait, XP, friend?
No, this is no longer just a friend, but a life partner.
It matches perfectly, it matches exactly.
My prayer at church this morning is to find a friend who will never abandon me.
And what kind of friend will never abandon you? Of course, it's your life partner.
[Thank you for your guidance, Lord Eris!]
Although she was not yet familiar with the boy judge who was about to become her friend, Darkness was already prepared to date an XP partner (a scumbag type of opposite sex) and decided to accept the guidance of her destiny given to her by the goddess she served.
How will that child treat me?!
Darkness thought with some anticipation.
Aqua looked at Darkness, who had suddenly fallen into a delusional state, and didn't quite understand what was wrong with the girl. But since the girl was still willing to be friends with Broly after knowing that her disciple was a follower of Axis, then she deserved her approval as her master.
"Very good, tonight I will take you to meet my lovely disciple and let you make friends with him."
Aqua said.
"Huh, so fast?"
"When it comes to making friends, the sooner the better!"
"Then please allow me to prepare properly."
Darkness had never made friends so formally before, and she seemed a little flustered, but her noble upbringing helped her calm down.
Make sure to dress up in the evening so as to make a very good impression on your new friends, as instructed by Lord Eris.
Darkness seemed to have forgotten that the scene of her breaking a boulder on her chest on the beauty pageant stage was already enough to leave a deep impression.
. . . .
Meanwhile, in the hot spring city of Acanletia, a white-haired goddess named Chris, who secretly descended from the heavens to become Darkness's friend after hearing the prayers of her followers, is now in trouble.
"You Eris bastard, how are you going to compensate me for the antique bottle you smashed?"
The Aksis followers said.
"Excuse me, how much compensation do you require?"
Eris had never seen anything like this before, so he could only keep apologizing to the person in front of him and even prepared to take out his wallet to pay compensation.
"Huh?!"
The Aksis cultist who was trying to scam her was taken aback. He hadn't expected the thief girl in front of him to be so easy to deal with. He rolled his eyes and prepared to extort a large sum of money from her.
"This bottle of mine is from a hundred years ago..."
As soon as the man began to recount the history of the bottle, a furious roar came from behind him.
"Those bastards from the Axis Cult, I already told them not to come out and cause trouble, tarnishing Acanletia's reputation!"
"Damn it, it's the city sheriff. Humph, you got lucky this time, but next time I'll make sure you, this evil Eris cultist, are bankrupt!"
The Axis followers left these words behind and fled in another direction.
"Are you alright, young lady?"
"What exactly is this?"
"You almost fell for it, didn't you? Those bastards from the Axis Cult, I don't know where they learned this trick of faking accidents to lure strangers into their cult..."
The sheriff grumbled and cursed, and only then did the young thief realize what was happening. Pointing to the broken bottle on the ground, she asked, "So, this isn't an antique anymore?"
"Of course they're not antiques. These are flawed pieces that the Church of Axis bought in bulk from ceramic workshops. They'd only sell for four or five hundred Eris at a street stall, and even then, there's no guarantee anyone would want them..."
